finitef(3) [netbsd man page]

FINITE(3)						   BSD Library Functions Manual 						 FINITE(3)

NAME

     finite, finitef -- tests for finite values

LIBRARY

     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     int
     finite(double x);

     int
     finitef(float x);

DESCRIPTION

     The finite() function returns the value 1 when

	   -infinity < x < +infinity.

     Otherwise a zero is returned (that is, |x| = infinity or x is NaN).

SEE ALSO

     isfinite(3), math(3)

STANDARDS

     The described functions conform to IEEE Std 754-1985.  Note that unlike isfinite(3), neither function is present in the ISO C-language stan-
     dards or in the IEEE POSIX standards.

HISTORY

     The finite and finitef() functions first appeared in 4.3BSD.

NAME

       finite, finitef, finitel, isinf, isinff, isinfl, isnan, isnanf, isnanl - BSD floating-point classification functions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       int finite(double x);
       int finitef(float x);
       int finitel(long double x);

       int isinf(double x);
       int isinff(float x);
       int isinfl(long double x);

       int isnan(double x);
       int isnanf(float x);
       int isnanl(long double x);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       finite(), finitef(), finitel():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
       isinf():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE;
	   or cc -std=c99
       isinff(), isinfl():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
       isnan():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _ISOC99_SOURCE;
	   or cc -std=c99
       isnanf(), isnanl():
	   _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600

DESCRIPTION

       The  finite(),  finitef(),  and finitel() functions return a nonzero value if x is neither infinite nor a "not-a-number" (NaN) value, and 0
       otherwise.

       The isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions return a nonzero value if x is a NaN value, and 0 otherwise.

       The isinf(), isinff(), and isinfl() functions return 1 if x is positive infinity, -1 if x is negative infinity, and 0 otherwise.

ATTRIBUTES

   Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
       The finite(), finitef(), finitel(), isinf(), isinff(), isinfl(), isnan(), isnanf(), and isnanl() functions are thread-safe.

NOTES

       Note that these functions are obsolete.	C99 defines macros isfinite(), isinf(), and isnan() (for all types) replacing them.  Further  note
       that the C99 isinf() has weaker guarantees on the return value.	See fpclassify(3).
